Cover Me Impressed

With a focus on the 60's-90's music scene, CMI is a Paradiso for Lovers Cover Songs! Each post focuses on a particular song and provides its original and most popular recordings as well as covers versions. Patrons of CMI vote on the most deserving cover version, which will then live to compete again, battling other cover songs in a future post.

In deference to the recent anniversary of the 9-11 tragedy I chose the greatest song John Lennon ever penned to launch Cover Me Impressed. Needless to say it is beyond disheartening

Echo & The Bunnymen:

Kelly Hogan:

Oh the disharmony! Much like Harlan County there are no neutrals here. Only one cover tune will live to play another day and it is your solemn responsibility to decide which one prevails. So tell me … Which Side Are You On?!!?

Also, keep in mind that if you should spontaneously self-actualize while playing a cover then you could – and probably should – nominate it for Top 10 (i.e. “Impeccable”) consideration.

Well I never fully “got” Echo & The Bunnyboys and have long considered Kelly Hogan to be a Goddess who graciously lavishes us with ethereal euphony. Her voice makes my heart go a pitter-patter and catapults me a-swooning to heights only Icarus could conceive. Yet, I’m inconsolably chapfallen in this piece. Kelly Hogan and It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue should have been manna from the heavens. Instead, it only serves to remind us just how cruel the Gods (and obviously Goddesses as well) can be!
